CHARLESTON, WA, February A.
There was O feeling OF expectancy to-
day when the joint assembly met, and
the number of visitors was an increase
over previous days, for the belief,
though without substantial foundation,
had become general that something was
going to drop. As the balloting pro-
ceeded, however, and there was no
change, the feeling gave way to one OF
disappointment, and when the result
was announced there was an audibly-
expressedsense Of disapprobation. The
people are getting tired of this waste
Of time, andexpressions OF disspproyal
concerning the course pursued by the
minority Democrats are becoming fire.
quent. The ballot stood: Camden, 80;
Flick, 3S; Lucas, 3; johnson, 3; and
Wilson, Newman, Faulkner, Brown,
Harris, and Davis the usual one apiece.
The name of Judge A. Snyder. of the
Supreme Court, was sprung to-day, and
he received one vote.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The House to-day passed the Senate
bill providing for the study in public
schools of the nature of intoxicating
drinks and narcotics and their effects
on the human system.
In the Senate the joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitu-
ton forbidding the manufacture or sale
of intoxicating drinks in the State came
up, and the vote stood seventeen for il
and seven against il, lacking one of the
two thirds of all the members elected,
and which was necessary to pass it. Be.
fore the result was announced it was
moved and carried to postpone the an
nouncement until tomorrow, when the
friends of the amendment hope to have
Senator McCallister present, who is be-
lieyed to be favorable to it.
A KICKING CIRCULAR.
A circular signed by seventeen Demo
Gratis from different parts of the State
was to-day issued from here. 1t set
forth that the action of the twelve
Democrats who refused to enter the
caucus was occasioned by the dangers
which imperil pure government and
the supremacy and integrity of the
Democratic party by the reprehensible
political methods adopted in the Legis-
lature now in session; that their action
is but the expression of the sentiments
entertained by the more thoughtful and
conservative men of the party and by
a large majority of the Democratic
voters of the State; that there is wide
spread feeling and belief that patron
age in this State has been employed for
the purpose of building up body of
ofiice-holding managers whose activity
aud zeal in the primaries outweigh the
popular judgment when left untrlm-
melled.
The signers of this paper are mostly
disappointed otfice-seekers, who, be-
lieving that their failure to obtain an
Office is due to hostile senatorial inhu
ence take this way to obtain revenge.
in fact, the whole tenor of the circular
shows that a failure to get Office is the
occasion for the vigorous kicking
against the action of the caucus which
has been INDUCED in. All whoapprovc
Of the action of the twelve anti-caucus
men are requested to obtain as many
signatures as possible, and return the |
circular to one of the twelve, so that
they may get an idea Of how far their |
action meets the public appreciation.
